Kazakhstan is increasingly positioned as a strategic economic hub in Eurasia through a development model centered on fifteen Special Economic Zones. Located at the core of the China–Europe overland trade corridors, the country aims to transform its role from a transit territory into a center of production, investment, and logistics. These Special Economic Zones are thematically designed to support industry, petrochemicals, logistics, technology, tourism, and processing sectors. Among them, the TURAN Special Economic Zone stands out due to its large territorial scale, multi-sectoral structure, and comprehensive incentive framework. Established in the Turkistan Region, TURAN SEZ combines tourism development with manufacturing, food processing, textiles, and logistics.
